Terranigma-Pixel Freemaster (v1.0) by Nintenja and various authors is released and available.
This is only the beginning but right now I believe this is the definitive way at this time to play this classic 16-bit RPG and I feel this game deserves a larger audience. The MSU1 audio OST is beautiful, the graphics are beautiful, this game is a real gem.
Terranigma was developed by Quintet and published by Enix in 1995 in Europe but never came to the U.S. due to the same licensing issues that make it unlikely to see re-release in the future. That makes this project and release an important one in that we may never see an official Pixel Remaster like release of this game. Hence the name I've given the project Terranigma Pixel Freemaster.
It includes in one single easy to use. Ips patch:
MSU-1 Audio Support
NTSC 60hz
8×16 Font
Ark has Blue Hair Restored
Bloody Mary Boss HP is nerfed 33%
